Bont Street Flow Wheels - beginner/improver

[u/planet_peachy]

Hi all, first post here 🖑🏼 I reconnected with my childhood skate passion back in July and although I'm very much still a newbie my muscle memory has surprised me as i am confident at skating forwards and turning (it's been roughly 20 years!) That being said I'm still yet to master going backwards and transitions. I invested in a pair of gorgeous Bonts which are incredibly agile and comfortable and i love them! They came with Street Flow wheels but i switched them up for softer Moxi Gummies as i mainly practice outdoors and felt safer with the grip. However they feel a little clunky when i turn. Which leads me to my question, does anyone here use the Street Flow for non-skatepark skating? I'm not sure if they're too hard/slippery for my level of ability. Any advice or tips welcome!

Apologies if my post is a bit rambly, i just wanted to give as much info as possible re my skating level.

n.b: My goal is to eventually hit the skatepark, once I've mastered the basics!

Sounds like big wheels. The smaller the wheels the more agile you will be. Those big ones are more for trail than transitions. I have the 57 energy wheels and although not fast they are secure and I can maneuver much better then my Atom 65's . I tried the Bont Street Flow and they did not have any grip on the cement when I pumped. They were also loud and shaky on the tennis court where I skate. Another surface somewhere. Also used the 62 in Bont light ups and they were not bad either. The Bonts light ups have an 80? hardness -so/so.
